Why Money Is Scarce.

New York, September 21.-The
World prints interviews with leading
bankers and merchants of this city as
to why money is SO scarce. There is a
large variety OF views expressed, but
the preponderance of opinion is that
congress is responsible for the present
state of affairs. Some think that con-
gress should, at its next session, reduce
taxation. It seems from the interviews
that merchants are suffering for money
even more than Wall street spectators.

The adoption Of the Westinghouse
brake to freight trains, and the
automatic coupling of cars on all
railways, will reduce the danger to
human life in such callings at least
seventy five per cent. This is the
calculation of a great Maryland rail
way man, whose Judgment is al.
ways correct in such matters. Many
valuable lives are lost almost daily
on railway trains because ofthe dan.
ger in connecting the cars and ap.
ply ing the brakes. Science and
capital have at last reduced the
peril to minimum. The safe heat
ing of cars will be next in order.

PNEUMONIA EXPLAINED.-It is
generally supposed that pneumonia
is due to the accidental penetration
Of specific microbe into the system,
but the observations of M. Jaccoud,
a French student of the subject,
show tibet the disease really results
from the development under fayo?a-
BILE conditions ofmicrobe germs per-
manently present in the system. A
chief condition of such development
is sudden chill, which explains the
frequent coincidence Of lung affec-
tons with abrupt changes of tenn
perature.

TIRED OUT"

Just tired out" the neighbor said,
Turning from the squalid bed,
Where the weary woman lay,
Painting life's last hours away.
Save that sound of sobbing breath,
All was still as coming death;
For the frightened children covered,
Where, with heavy brows that low
cred,
Meath the long enduring strain,
The mute husband bore his pain.
Just tired GUITAR down below
Waves were fretting on the flow!
And the full, recurrent roar
Echoed upward from the shore,
Fainter grew the pulses beat
AS the worn hands plucked the sheet
And the death-damps gathered, where
RULED all the tangled hair,
Said the watcher at her side,
"She is waiting for the tide"
- hen the waves had ebbed anew,
The tired life was over too;
Gone from want, and care and i'll,
Very fair she looked, and meek,
Long dark lashes swept her cheek,
Worn hands crossed upon her breast,
For the weary was at rest"
-AU the Year Round.

Some curious phenomena are APP
pearing in the section of country be-
tween Summerville and Charleston,
which was so greatly disturbed by
the earthquake shock of Aug, 1856.
There are many deep pits on the
margin of which have been thrown
up pure white sand, such as is seen
only on the seashore. On this sand
sprung up dense growth of sea
plants. 1t is evident that the seeds
from which these plants have sprung
have beed elected from great depth,
where they have doubtless been
buried many centuries without losing
their terminating powers.-Sauan-

POETRY.
THE PARSONS FLEA.

A city parson in July,
The season of vacation,
When tired pastors gladly fly
In quest of recreation,
Turned from the din of crowded streets,
Where wheels and horsesehes rattle,
To feast once more on rural treats,
And hear the lowing cattle.
That he may either fish or preach,
He with his fishing taakle
Some sermons packed in easy reach,
Close by his reel and hackle.
Probation after Death was one;
One Atheistic Crazes
The third web of words fine spun
On Evolution Phases.
Stale bait with which to fish for men
He very seldom caught them
Most heard him once, went home, and then
Forgot that he had taught them.
With rod and reel of shining brass,
And hook well tipped with feather,
He fiShed for trout, and fished, alas,
In every kind of weather.
One day the parson overlook
A gamin, crank and dirty,
With string of trout and bent pinhook
His trophies numbered thirty.
Each stared the other in the face
Quoth parson: What's the reason
That only stupid clubs and dace
Will take my hook this season 2"
The gamin answered, s. Don't yer know?
1t takes fresh bait to ketch 'em;
Trout ain t no fools yer tog's no go;
Yer painted hook won't fetch EN-"
The gamin's point was sharp and clear,
The parson felt it pricking;
1t reached his heart, while in his ear
A good-sized flea was kicking.
Perhaps" he thought, "my gospel hook
Would catch if better baited
wonder how Gods truth would look,
In simple language stated"
Oh, reverend fishers, use fresh bait;
Gay feathers do not please us;
Our hungry souls impatient wait
To hear the love of Jesus.

A Forecast u the Season.

Down in Corea IL, the spring time men
go to the fields and pull up grains Of the
fall sown barley. If these grains have
only one root, the crop will be small; if
there are two roots, the season will be ia
vorable. The months in which there is
to be the most rain are told by inserting
twelve beans in a piece of broom corn
and burying the whole in a small guam
tity of ashes for the dew or rain to mois-
ten. The beans most swollen represen.
the months in which there will be the
heaviest rainfall. Chicago Times.

And the corporal referred the matter to

The latter informed his captain, who noti-

The captain started off, left foot fore

An hour later detachment of police
was stationed at distance of about 100
meters from the military hospital, at the
top Of the hill from which may be seen
the whole of Briqueville with its short,
straight streets, and, at distance, the
harbor with its forest of masts, surround

the prosecutor were conferring together,
